Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Scottish Catholics During the Xviith and Xviiith Centuries, Vol. 1: Selected From Hitherto Inedited Mss A very homely proverb tells us that no man knows where the shoe pinches, better than he who wears it. However soft to the touch the leather is shown to be, however high the repute of the maker, no argument derived from the evidence of others can outweigh the statement based on personal experience. We have heard the history of religion in Scotland from many a friend of the Covenant, from many an admirer of the Royalists, but a personal narrative of the sufferings endured by the members of the ancient faith has not been put before the world. The letters here printed were written from Scotland during the worst times, by men who were bearing the extremity of the persecution. We hear at first hand of the courage, patience, resource, and religious fortitude, with which large numbers of Scots bore for generations trials which are without a parallel for severity and protraction, even in the annals of our strong and long enduring nation. In a previous volume of Narratives of Scottish Catholics their history has been traced in the days of Mary Stuart and of King James VI.
